I’m surprised by this and a number of others getting off to a slow start. Especially can’t believe Sunderland are in the bottom three.

Great start in the premiere league by the chairman clubs, especially Blackburn, favourites to be relegated and in the European places.
 
Bottom 3!! What the **** is going on! Didn’t think my team was that bad. The stats of my manager are mental so this surprises me. Won the last two so hopefully this is a sign.
 
A couple of you are gonna be well happy with your budgets in the January window.....Tycoons bought the club on the game and put a stupid amount of money into the clubs.....we will have to sell this in our game as an 'outside investor'
 
Aaaah lost both Arp and Raya but doing well! Don't know exactly what to think about this one.

JANUARY 2023 UPDATE


MANAGER MOVEMENTS


Middlesbrough - Manuel Pellegrini sacked - Not yet replaced
West Brom - Viktor Goncharenko sacked - Replaced with Mark Hughes
Aston Villa - John Terry sacked - Replaced with Steven Gerrard
Blackburn - Mark Hughes - Left club to join West Brom
Preston - Javi Gracia - Left club to join Crystal Palace - Replaced with Jorge Jesus
Sunderland - Luis Vicente Mateo sacked - Replaced with Frank Lampard
QPR - Joey Barton sacked - Replaced with Emma Hayes
Sheffield Wednesday - Steve McClaren sacked - Replaced with Hein Vanhaezebrouck


Chairmen with sacked manager, please let me know what you'd like me to do...


1) I can either reinstate your manager again for free (even if this manager has gone to another club, you will have 1st choice to keep him, even if he has gone to another chairman club)
2) You can replace them with someone else (you'll only have to pay compensation to your new manager's club if they have one, unless it's a chairman club in which case you can have them back for free).
3) Keep the manager who has taken over your club on the game for which there will be no fee as the game will have already worked out and taken any compensation from your balance (unless it's another chairman's manager and they want them back, in which case you'll have to revert to option 1 or 2 above).


If your manager was not sacked and left the club (Derby in this instance), then you cannot re-appoint him for free! You can either stick with the manager who has taken over, or you can appoint a new one of your own but if they have a club then you'll have to pay compensation!


ENGLISH PREMIER DIVISION


Stoke have resumed normal service and are in the Europa League qualification spots at the halfway stage. Blackburn have dropped right off the pace and find themselves now in the bottom half of the table with West Brom, but it's Middlesbrough and Aston Villa that look to be set for a relegation battle through the 2nd half of the campaign.

SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP


Swansea, Nottingham Forest, Norwich, Preston and Birmingham are all in contention to make at least the playoff spots, and Brentford are not out of it just yet! Barnsley, Millwall, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland are all in danger of relegation at this stage of the season!

SKY BET LEAGUE ONE


Wigan have improved to 4th, but still find themselves 7 points off the automatic promotion spots! Will they have to settle for the playoffs again this year?

Another season where no chairman side will win the Carabao Cup with none of us making the semi finals this season. Only Swansea made it as far as the quarters where they fell to West Ham.

The 3rd round games were played on New Years Eve so we can already see who's through to the next stage, although the draw has not yet taken place. Wigan, West Brom, Barnsley are already out of the competition though. Here's the 3rd round results.

Brentford Transfer List

Hi guys, with the club in debt, I am willing to sell some very high profile players if any of you clubs with loads of money want to snap them up....

Frenkie De Jong - £22 million
Antonio Rudiger - £30 million
Tammy Abraham - £30 million (guaranteed to score a bundle in the Championship and already has 12 for me this season, hence price tag)
Benik Afobe - £7 million
Julian Jeanvier - £2.5 million

Also, I have signed a player in the Summer called Nelson Vieira who is labelled in the game as the next Cristiano Ronaldo!!! He is 17 years old and already scored 3 goals in 5 games for me this season. Only currently valued at £725k and it would take a massive bid for me to let him go but seeing as he has the potential to become the best player on the game, feel free to make me an offer!

I also have 2x U18, 2x DOM and 1x FGN slots available to buy so make me an offer!

Finally, if anyone has any decent players they want to get out on loan then let me know as I'm definitely looking to improve my squad but have no funds (unless the above get sold)! I am in need of a GK, LB, RB, AMR, AML and ST!
 
Swansea City Transfer List

I'm looking to sell the following players with guide prices listed, although I will listen to offers.
Steven Benda (GK) - £150k
Ryan Allsop (GK) - £150k
Daniel James (AML/AMR) - £2m
David Concha (AML/AMR) - £300k
George Saville (MC) - £1.1m
Kyle Dempsey (MC) - £2.5m
Borja Baston - (ST) - 1.5m

I will also consider loaning out the youngsters listed below, I've also noted their weekly salaries which as you can see are relatively small so they won't hit the weekly wage budget much either.
- Ross Webber (AML) - £110
- Noah Lobinger (AMC) - £3.5k
- Mike Searle (ST) - £1.1k
 
Birmingham City Transfer List

CB Dejan Lovren - £5mil
CB Harlee Dean - £1mil
CB Unai Garcia - £1mil

DM Carel Eiting - £9mil
DM Marcos Llorente - £10mil
CM Edson Balde - £30mil - Wanted by Man City and Leipzig in game so hoping to get a good deal for him before they come in and low ball me.

RM Robert - £1mil

ST Alexander Sorloth - £1mil
ST Luis Suarez - £2mil

All prices are negotiable if you come in with the right deal. I am looking for a good GK, LB and LM so if you have any of those available then get in touch and we can see if we can come up with a deal.​

TUCHEL THE MAN TO LEAD THEM TO GLORY?

View attachment 16803WBA chairman Savan Shah has announced that Mark Hughes who had been signed in a caretaker role has been relieved of his duties as West Brom have finally come to an understanding with ex-PSG manager Thomas Tuchel to lead them. Tuchel who has managed both PSG and Borussia Dortmund comes with the reputation of advocating attacking football while also possessing the ability to manage big names and egos which WBA possesses.

Chairman Savan Shah and the fans have been disappointed by the results so far this season with the team and tactics so far failing to bring the best out of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani. Supporters were also left bemused when Friedl, last seasons best player was let go on loan. The club and the team needs a vision and it is upto the Chairman and the manager to come up with one so as to lead the club to further glory and take the next step.

Savan is keen to follow in the footsteps of Stoke who have made an impressive return to the Premier League and has privately admitted that various mistakes made by him have turned WBA into a middling club rather than one sitting in European positions. The Club has given full authority to Thomas Tuchel regarding the outgoings for January and it is understood that only in summer will the Chairman and the Manager discuss a vision regarding the incomings and outgoings at the club.​
 
Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve had stuff on and this has just kept getting pushed back. Will he back strong next season
 
January Transfer Window Update


Hi guys, before anything I am afraid I have to have a bit of a moan! I'm not going to name players but some have started to get very lazy with sending me their transfers and over the past few windows I've had loads of transfers sent to me in the wrong formats. Silly things such as the players current club not mentioned, the salary not worked out and the type of transfer that it is (DOM, FGN etc...). I don't want to have to complain but if the transfers don't come in the correct format, it all adds on to my time to update the game between sims, so please can we all keep on top of it from now on. By the way, most of you are good! As a gentle reminder, all transfers should be in the following format....


Type - Player - Current Club - New Club - New Salary - Transfer Fee
DOM - Sergio Aguero - Man City - Brentford - £100k - £26 million


Any transfers that don't come in the correct format from now on will be rejected I'm afraid!


My final point guys....with the EXP deals in January, please just send me the 3 you'd like to make. I don't have time to be making notes of 10 backup players and I can't keep your messages in my inbox as I have to delete them to make way for new ones. Message me with your 3x EXP deals and I will message you back if you miss out on them so you can go for someone else. This way I can keep on top of it properly.

ENGLISH PREMIER DIVISION


With only 6 games remaining, Stoke have a shot at making the top 4 and qualifying for the Champions League, whilst Leeds and West Brom will probably have to settle for mid table positions. Middlesbrough need a miracle to survive relegation, whilst Aston Villa and Blackburn are not yet safe!

SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP


Only Swansea have a realistic chance at making the automatic promotion spots, but we could still see an all chairman club playoffs this year with Norwich, Nottingham Forest, Preston, Birmingham and Brentford all still in with a shout of finishing in the top 6. We are very likely to see at least one chairman club relegated with Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Millwall all in the battle to stay up!

The best Wigan can probably hope for now is a playoff spot again, with the top 3 looking out of reach!

I am now simming to the end of the season guys and that post should be up a little later!​
 
AHHH Russo & Silva No!!!!!

If we win anything after selling our best two players for almost £200m i'll do a cartwheel! Wonder if that will finally give me more than £28m in transfer budget

END OF SEASON 2022/23 UPDATE


ENGLISH PREMIER DIVISION


Stoke have only gone and done it...congratulations to stonecold who in just 5 seasons has made it to the Champions League!! Leeds did well to finish 7th and just miss out on European qualification, whilst West Brom consolidate their position in the top half! Aston Villa must have had a blinding last few games as they finish 13th, whilst Blackburn and Middlesbrough are both relegated! Blackburn are quickly earning themselves a reputation as the yo-yo team and I'm sure nobody in the Championship is looking forward to having them back next season after they romped the title 2 years ago!

SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP


Nobody made the automatic promotion places, but we have our first ever all chairman playoff affair, with Norwich, Swansea, Brentford and Preston contesting for the final promotion spot! Nottingham Forest again fell away as they did last season after fast starts and their chairman will be disappointed with the lack of consistency. Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall are both relegated to League One!

A narrow 1-0 home win was enough for Brentford to see off Swansea in the first semi final.
